(Eagle News) —President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday denied knowing the person Senator Antonio Trillanes claimed to be the chief executive’s source of the senator’s “fake” bank accounts.
“Ang kilala kong si Snooky ay yung artista at sa comics,” Duterte said in a media briefing when asked if he knew Daniel “Snooky” Cruz.
Trillanes had claimed Cruz had sold the “fake” information to Malacanang, which paid P10 million for it.
The senator said the P3 million went to Cruz, while the rest went to “middlemen.”
Asked if Malacanang had indeed spent such an amount to retrieve that information, Duterte said: “I will not spend any centavo for him (Trillanes).”
“He is not worth even a peso,” the President said.
He said Trillanes, whom he called “gag*,” was “pretending to know what (he does) not know.”
“Ang yabang mo iyang bunganga mo…It is Trillanes who will bring this country down, to the dogs,” he said.
